Hardware returns to Kent with ACE

KENT — The town of Kent will soon get a new hardware store. True Value, which had been the go-to hardware store for residents for more than 20 years, closed in December 2016. Now, in the same building, an ACE will open its doors under owner Chris Wolf.

“I’ve been in the hardware store business since I was 11 years old,” Wolf said. “I bought my first hardware store in 1999.”

Also the owner of an ACE in Woodbury, Conn., Wolf said he is thrilled to be opening his second store in a new town.
